    Wrap hook with thread. Wrap hook with lead wire. Dub a small amount of dubbing at the hook bend, and covering some of the lead wraps. Tie in tails, one on each side, slightly toward the top. Tie in copper wire, then badger hackle. Dub entire length of hook, leaving a small space for tying off the hackle. Wrap hackle forward and tie off. Wrap copper wire forward, in the opposite direction you normally would, and tie off. Tie in and wrap a collar of badger hackle. Tie off, trim and whip finish. Fish so it bounces along the bottom.
